Break Uncharted 2 down and there's no obvious reason why it should succeed quite as well as it does. But when the components are themselves the ingredients of greatness you surely have a recipe for success. And the whole, as the cliche runs, is much, much greater than the sum of its parts.Read full review
Okay if you own a PS3, then you HAVE to buy this game. If not, then treat yourself to a PS3, and then immediately get this game. It is THAT good. Probably the only game I have played this generation that deserves to get a perfect score. It is currently the highest rated exclusive game of the generation (97% average). The only higher ranking game is Grand Theft Auto IV, however I think this beats it!
I do not care if you like Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo. If you love games, you need to do yourself a favour and experience this. A true masterpiece that breaks new ground in cinematic storytelling coupled with addictive, fun, satisfying and varied gameplay.
"and they're bidding a friendly "how do you do" to Mr Precipice and the Rocky-Outcrop family." You save these lines up for Friday's, no?
I can only echo your comments, Batman was hanging in as the best game of the year so far, but this has jumped in as game of the generation (so far). It's not without it's iddy biddy flaws, if you're near cover that's on the edge of a drop, it's sometimes tricky to hide and not dangle... But if that's my biggest complaint I think they've done well.
Finished the game just yesterday evening and the ending's certainly an improvement over the final QTE's of the first. On to the multiplayer!
Claudia Black is fantastically cast as Chloe, loved Drake's line "get to the gate" to her, right before the end of the game... A small homage to her days in Stargate?

I have a question, how is aiming handled in this? Is there any form of lock-on or crosshair? The original game was spoilt for me because the demo had neither so aiming was impossible (for me I should add) and the game required you to aim precisely with no hint as to whether you were aligned or not... No point buying a game when you can't get past the first fire-fight!
Ironduke, you're talking nonsense - the less quicktime events in a game the better.
Cub - no, I save them up especially for games reviews =) I agree, Batman was a brilliant game, but it still didn't leave me feeling as... I guess satisfied(?) as Uncharted 2.
ChaosDefinesOrder, it's handled by holding L1 and moving the right stick to move the targeting reticle just like 90 per cent of other third person shooters.
There's no auto-aim, but both the first game and this are more about aiming down the sights with L1. Until you do that you wont get any crosshairs aside from when going full auto. Its done like that so that you generally have to aim in order to succeed, but there's still the run & gun for you to fall back on if you need to.
There was one little criticism of the triangle button being for picking up ammo and changing weapon. That's only true of when you're aiming down the sights. The rest of the time you need to use the left & right D-Pad buttons to switch between what you're carrying. Where the pick-up of weapons and ammo falls apart is when you've got lots of guns and ammo in the area and moving a millimetre will bring up a different gun. I don't really know how they could have improved this.
I will keep my uncharted fortune thanks, this game is very good but spending £300 for a game would be money down the drain. Keep things in perspective.

First game to make me really really want a PS3. Looks absolutely fantastic. When I can get a PS3 for sub £200, I'm there. Especially as PS3 titles seem to go to budget so quickly. Why can't 360 titles do that?
